Jake Teskey, Site Director

Jake Teskey is no stranger to civic engagement and leadership development in his native state of Arizona. As an alumnus of the Public Allies program Jake served two consecutive terms at both Valley Leadership and Mountain Park Health Center; both of which have programs running to this day stemming from the work he completed. Prior to rejoining the Public Allies family as Program Manager, Jake served several years in the social sector providing clinical in-home services and consultation to high-risk families, in addition to enhancing state compliance trainings and onboarding standards.

Jake graduated from Arizona State University where he earned a Bachelor of Interdisciplinary Studies with a concentration in Global Health and Nutrition. He also studied health and environment abroad in New Zealand with emphasis on disenfranchised populations. He is currently pursuing his graduate degree from Thunderbird School of Global Management in Applied Leadership and Management while serving as the Interim Director of Public Allies AZ.

With his embedded history of the Public Allies mission and vision, Jake looks forward to strengthening the program that he attributes to much of his success.
